    Abstract:
    Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo (D. officinale) is a dual-use plant with both botanical medicine and food applications, drawing increasing attentions. Pesticides are inevitably applied on D. officinale in commercial artificial-sheltered cultivation, yet little is known about pesticide residue levels in D. officinale. A modified high through-put QuEChERS method coupled with HPLC-MS/MS was developed and validated to detect 76 pesticides in D. officinale. Graphitized multi-wall carbon nanotubes (g-MWCNTs) was selected as the clean-up sorbent, showing relative weak affinity to triazole fungicide having planar structure in their molecular and low matrix effects of pesticides in D. officinale samples compared to MWCNTs and pesticarb. The validated method was applied to analyze pesticide residues in 86 real D. officinale samples collected from three main producing provinces. 43 different pesticides were detected with highest residue of 6.11 mg/kg for dimethomorph. Given possible health risks related to pesticide residues, accordingly, risk assessment of human exposure to pesticides via intake of D. officinale was thus performed, indicating that the pesticide residue in fresh or dry D. officinale would not cause potential risk to human health either in the long-term or short-term. This work improved our understanding of potential exposure risk of pesticide multi-residues in D. officinale.
